What are you talking about? People taking that cocktail have a better immune system than people without HIV.

This will promote promiscuity, I hope someone thinks of the children and bans these life-saving drugs.

They should bundle it with a chemical castration of sorts to prevent such foolishness!

I want to be able to fuck hot chicks with no condoms! Bring that cure already!

In addition to being a potential checkmate to HIV, the compounds show indications of being just as effective against other diseases plaguing humankind - among them influenza, possibly even the dread bird flu, along with smallpox and herpes.

Fuck ya a cure for herpes, this gets better and better. Not that I have it, just in case though. :icon32:

Holy shit, their stock price went up 300% in 1 day!

Actually, HIV meds are commonly sold with Viagra and it has to be supplied if the patient asks for it and as long as the insurance/copay cover it.

tnf is right: the big problem with HIV and influenza is that they mutate very quickly. This drug might work now, but more than likely a resistant strain will crop up.

That said, the article didn't say much about how the drug works (I can't be bothered to read the science journal this morning...maybe later). It says it mimics the body's own defense, but the body protection against viruses relies on cells being infected to begin with. So it doesn't make sense to me.

Those who's far related to the survivors of the black plague (name? owned EU in the 14th century) is said to be immune to AIDS, due to something funky in their DNA or whatever. Anyways, I'm gonna go get tested for that somtime. :p

The thread was about curing AIDS, and you used someone who doesn't have AIDS as the basis for a theory that something must work against AIDS.

You were wrong, stop fucking crying, jesus.

And whack-all is about the stupidest fucking nick flame I've ever heard in my life.
